I will be interested to check this out myself.

From prior experience, though, this is what I feel to be the case. The Korg PA80 online demo in this example, sounded sooooo good I had to have one. The only question I had was, can I sound like that playing live or is this a fancey studio sequence?

The PA60/80 never came close to sounding like the online demo. In my opinion and that of everyone else who heard the two side by side, very subjective of course, the concensus was my PSR2000 sounded much better.Sorry Korg lovers, I know everybody has a different taste and ear. I think Korg is for more modern music, more sythesizer sounds. I prefer standards with the old rich non-synthesizer sound.

As far as Yamaha online factory demos for the PSR2000 and Tyros, I feel that what you hear is about the same in person and in fact can be played live.

The moral of the story of course: try them out hands on preferably with your own speakers, and a 30 - 45 day trial period is the ideal way.

My slant on it.
